ACTING OFF THE STAGE.

M. Francisqne Sarcey, in his last dra matic chronique, in The Temps, says that the actors art is far less the fruit of in- spiration than the result of study and practice, and in support of his thesis he relates two amusing anecdotes in the life of Frederick Lemaitre. It appears that whenever this great French actor had a new role to play he invariably tried 1t on the public in the every day course of life before acting it en the stage. One day he was travelling in a crowded stage coach, when the idea struck him to rehearse a scene in which he was to personate the part of a sick man. Suddenly his visage became, as it were, decomposed his eyes grew dim his arms dropped down mo- tionless his body doubled up, and he sighed and groaned most heartrendlngly. All his fellow travellers regarded him with fear and trembling some thought he was seized with black cholera, and on the point of death the coach was stopped, and he was about to be removed to the nearest doctor, when Lemaitre, judging he had gone quite far enough, and delighted with his success, gradually became himself again, 'andin few remarks disclosed these cret of his illness. On another occasion he indulged in similar rehearsal at the Cafe des Varieties, but this time he nearly got into hot water He entered the cafe, swaggering like bully, and after gazing at all the customers with contempt, stop ped at table where a young officer and his wife were sitting. Here his bearing became so insolent that everybody protest ed, and called on the landlord to put him out. The young officer, pale with rage and indignation, rushed at 4him and de- mand, d an explanation. Suddenly Lc- maitre again changed his appearance. He was no longer the Captain Fracasse of a few minutes previous, but @ confrme d idiot unconscious of what he had done. The officer shrugged his shoulders in pity and resumed his seal, ,7while the actor, talk ing the next table, sat down like an ordi- nary customer, ordered some coffee and proceeded to read the papers as if nothing had happened.

OHEsTNUTs. -Mr Joseph Jefferson is re- sponsible for the latest explanation of the word chestnut" He attributes the in- troduction of the word in it's slang sense to MT. Wm. Warren, the veteran comedian of Boston.
 "There is 6 melodrama," MT. Jefferson said to a Press reporter, "but little known to the present generation, written by Wm. Dillon and called ''The Broken Sword. '' There were two characters in it, one @ Capt. Xavier, and the other the comedy part of Pablo. The captain is 8 sort of Baron MunChausen, and in telling hiS ex- ploits says: T entered the woods of Col laway, when suddenly from the thick lboughs of cork tree'-PablO interrupts him with the words "A chestnut, cap tain, 8 chestnut 1 sBah !'a replies the cap tain 'Booby, say 2 cork tree.'
 ." A chestnut,' reiterated Pablo. T should know ss we'll as you, having heard you tell the tale these twenty. seven times. , William Warren, who has often played the part of Pablo, was at stag dinner two years ago when one of the gentlemen pres ent told story of doubtful age and origin ality. A chestnut, mnrmured Mr. War ren, quoting from the play, T have heard you tell the tale these twenty seven times. , The application of the lines pleased the rest of the table, Snd when the party broke up each helped to spread tho story and MT. Warren's commentary. And that, concluded MT. Jefferson, is what I really believe to be the origin of the word chest nut. '"--. FhSEGdela1 a1hGG Press. .sae- @~

WHAT AM TO DO ?-The symptoms of Bill iousness are unhappily but too we'll known. They differ in different individuals to some extent. A Bilious man is seldom a breakfast eater. Too frequently, alas, he has an excel lent appetite for liquids but none for solids of morning. His tongue will hardly bear inspection at any time; if it is not white and furred, it is rough, at all events.
 The digestive system is wholly out of or der, and Diarrhpa or Constipation may be a symptom or the two may alternate. There are often Hemorrhoids or even loss of blood. There may be giddiness and often headache and acidity or fatulence and tenderness in the pit of the stomach.

The Rebel knights.

CHICAGO, Dec. lG.- Special Telegram to
the BEE. The committee appointed by the
new district assembly of "Rebel Knights of
Labor for the purpose of drawing up con-
sttution has decided to use the old consttu-
tion Of the knights simply eliminating those
parts which they object to. The principal
points are that the relations Of the order to-
wards other labor organizations and particu-
lally trades unions shall not be antagonistic
but rather friendly; that the trades shall be
organized within the order by trades and the
mixed assemblies recognized only for persons
who cannot for some reason or other Join or
form Il trades union that each trade and dis
trict shall govern its own affairs without in
terGcrence from the general officers,
whereby all dues and assessments
would remain in the district treas
uries, with the exception of what little is
required in the limited functions of the gen
cral officers; that there shall be no salaried
officers, but the officers shall be paid accord
ing to the time actually consumed in work at
n rate of wages current in their trade; that
there shall be no general lecturers or general
instructors or other sinecures; that no officers
shall be elected for more than a year at
time. These principles so closely resemble
those of the federation of tradoS that the
question occurred if an alliance with that or
ganization was not advisable, but no action
was taken on the matter. The name of the
new order will probably be ''rhc Independent
order of Knights of Labor.n

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Adoption Ofthe Constitution and Elec-
tiOn OF officers.

BALTIMORE, Dec. i6.-The American Fed
Grafton of Labor to day decided to reduce the
per capita tax for the support of the FEEDER
alton from a to 4 of a cent per month and
impose an annual tax of $25 on all state fed
CrationS; not to provide q Salaricd organizer
but to allow the Federation to employ such
special organizers as may be needed from
time to time. While local unions will not be
compelled to form themselves into state fed
crations, yet they are strongly urged to do so.
After recess consideration of the conStitu-
tion was completed and the document
adopted. II was resolved to ask congress to
shorten the hours of labor in view of the de-
creased number of workmen. The commit
tee reported that the rapid growth of the
order resulted from, first, the avowed pur-
pose Of the federation to allow each trade to
govern itself, and second, to the discomfort of
the knights of Labor at the bad management
of their affairs and the desperate use of
strikes. The committee recommended
the utmost resistance to the encroachmeut
of the knights of Labor, nasmuch
as that organization showed itself opposed
to the principles of trade unionism. The re-
port was adoptcd.l
The following officers were elected by ac-
clamation: President, Samuel l.. Gompers,
New York, representing the International
Cigarmakers union; first vice president
